Scientific observation, is to see the action of a thing, and to see the effect of that action. Without action, you can not see. Without difference, you can not distinguish. Without experimentation, you can not physically divide. Those that have more knowledge, see more. But to see it more clearly: scientific observation is to view the movements, and effects of those movements, or to view any situation, and the effect of it.
Example: I saw a fish swim though the water. So based on what I observed, I ask questions, like, how did the fish swim though the water. So I sum up everything I know, and I make the deduction; the fish must have separated the water in order to pass though it. So there it is; my first non-experimental scientific observation of the fish swimming though the water.
Now to break it down from the top. I see the fish moving though the water, and I see the effect it has on the water.

What is scientific observation and why is scientific observation not neutral?

What is the first part of the scientific method?

Why is scientific observation not considered neutral?

What is scientific observation and what are scientific variables?
When a trained scientist makes a careful observation of anything, that qualifies as a scientific observation. Scientific variables would be quantities of something, which could be temperature, velocity, size, color, pressure, force, or many other things, which are seen to vary in certain circumstances, from which observation we can deduce something about what is going on.
